Can anyone recommend a flavoured electrolyte that doesn’t break a fast when doing IF?

    whatever Can anyone recommend a flavoured electrolyte that doesn’t break a fast when doing IF?

    Gatorade.

    You’re welcome!

    whatever I use nuun tablets because they’re about the lowest amount of sugar I could find, but still 15 calories, so they’ll technically break a fast. I guess it depends on why you’re fasting and how much that matters. If you’re doing 16/8s for weight loss, it won’t matter much. If you’re on day 3 and looking for autophagy benefits, it won’t work.

    If you need to be super strict, just take magnesium and potassium supplements along with salted lemon water, that’s probably the easiest solution.

      I find a weekend on the Persians helps with the ole fasting.

      Hursty a cups of tea and hot cross bun. Which is what I am just about to have. Winning!

      Yeah I’m trying to be strict with it. It also needs to be something that can mask the saltiness. I think you’d have to be really sparing with the lemon juice. I’ve been looking into stevia based products. Is just a minefield with all the different products and trying not to waste cash.

        Yeah have seen his posts. Did contact him. Will go back to him again perhaps.

        Can anyone recommend a good CBD product to use or what dosage I should aim for?

          whatever Do you have a reliable source for flower and want to make it yourself? That’s the cheapest and best way to do it if you can. Otherwise, look for full spectrum (not isolate) and start with a 10mg dose. You can titrate up based on how it affects you.

            Thanks man. No, unfortunately not. Could you recommend any particular product? Looking into it for mood and health benefits to be taken in the morning. Sounds sensible to start with 10mg.

              whatever Here’s my rankings based on experience (I’ve been using cbd daily for about 6 years). I’ll say too, we have a pretty extensive grey market here, no idea if any of this is available to you.

              Given the option, nothing beats describing and infusing coconut oil myself.

              Next best is Viridesco. They make concentrated oils and their CBD product is the best I’ve tried. It tastes like dirt, but it works so well, especially paired with RSO, if that’s your thing.

              I do regularly buy a brand called Charlotte’s Web (not to be confused with the strain). Their oil is pretty well priced and I use it for day to day maintenance.

              I’ve tried a few other brands of gummies and they’ve been ok, generally find oils to be the simplest delivery method.

                State of this thread.

                Just bully Ed on a daily basis, does my mental health a world of good.

                  I want to give Lions Mane a go to see if it will help with concentration and focus. Anyone got any recommendations?

                    Nice one mate, thank you. Can’t believe how expensive it is. Looks like you can buy Viridesca in Europe.
